I believe acquiring the ability to analyze information in your skill arsenal is one of the most important strengths a successful workplace communicator must have. In our age information about any topic is available to us in large quantity which makes it hard to identify the best information, the most accurate or relevant and unbiased information to support their argument. Now with a skill such as being analytical, will always come in handy to get the best information and use it for your own advantage to solve a problem or even aid in the development process of a project in the workplace. The book says, “those with such ability know how to evaluate a situation, look at it from other people’s perspectives, and zero in on the most important issues” making them valuable subjects in their workplace.
Imagine if in a work place a manager assigned to his team a project that requires a lot of research. Now the work load is broken into different parts by assigning it to different groups. The group that has analytical members will have an easier time and most likely be more efficient to come up with a successful plan to tackle whatever the topic of the assignment was. Not only will they be efficient but they will also be concise in their approach, knowing what information to include or abstain from, which is a fundamental aspect in a professional environment.
